Formula

stampDuty = propertyValue * stampDutyPercent / 100; registrationFee = propertyValue * registrationPercent / 100; sourceTax = propertyValue * sourceTaxPercent / 100; totalCost = stampDuty + registrationFee + sourceTax

How the calculation works

The tool multiplies the property value by the stamp duty percentage, normally one and a half percent, to get the stamp cost.

It then applies the registration fee percentage and the source tax percentage to the same value to get those two charges.

Finally it adds the three charges together to return the total registration cost you must pay.

Common mistakes

Forgetting the source tax, which at five percent is the largest single charge in a Bangladeshi land registration.
Valuing the property below the government rate, since the deed is registered on the higher of the two values.

When to use it

Budget the cash you must pay at the sub-registry office before you sign a sale deed.
Compare the total deed cost for two plots priced differently and pick what fits your budget.

Worked example

A property worth 5000000 taka carries 75000 stamp duty at 1.5%, 50000 registration fee at 1% and 250000 source tax at 5%, giving a total registration cost of 375000 taka.

Total cost ৳375,000.00

Stamp duty 75,000.00

Registration fee 50,000.00

Source tax 250,000.00

Common questions

Is source tax refundable?

Source tax is deducted at registration and can be adjusted against your income tax liability when you file the return.
